Question

Two dice are rolled, find the probability that the sum is equal to $5$.

• A. $\frac{1}{9}$
• B. $\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $\frac{2}{3}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\frac{1}{9}$

Two dice were rolled.

Total outcomes: $6^2=36$

Number of Outcomes with sum as $5$ are: $4\to \left\{\right(1,4),(2,3),(3,2),(4,1\left)\right\}$

Required probability:

$P=\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}$
